NOTE:
If the engine stalled by a rapid clutch oper-
ation, the engine will restart with the gear
positioned "N" (neutral) and the clutch

NOTE:
Under the following conditions, the engine
will restart automatically even if the engine
was stopped by the ENG A-STOP system:
• When the vehicle coasts down a slope.
• An engine stopped, and a few minutes
passed.
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low.
• Vehicle battery performance is low.
• Blower speed selector is set to the "ON"
mode and the inside of the vehicle has
not sufficiently cooled and warmed (for
the vehicle with automatic air condition-
ing).
• The defrost switch is set to the "ON"
mode (for the vehicle with automatic air
conditioning).
• Electric power consumption is high, such
as when the heated rear window and
heated outside rearview mirrors (if

cal components (audio, air conditioning
etc.) are operating.
• The "ENG A-STOP OFF" switch is
pressed to deactivate the ENG A-STOP
